I had the same problem, but in AIX.  There's an entry in dsm.sys
     "PasswordDir" which points to where ADSM is supposed to store/check
     the encrypted/generated password for the node.  In my case that entry
     got removed.  I just put it back, and did a "dsmc i" as root to reseed
     the password, everything worked fine after that.

Subject: V2 -V3 migration issues with Password Generate

During our migration from the Solaris V2 to V3 client we
have encountered problems with the "Password Generate"
feature when invoking dsmc/dsm from the Solaris client.

We are always prompted for the NODE's password, even after resetting it from the
ADSM server side.

Messages are as such:

unix01#  dsmc query filespace
NODE name: UNIX01
ANS051E Invalid Password
Please Enter Password for node "UNIX01":

at this point we enter the password set from the ADSM server
side and are authenticated.  With version 2 we could simply
reset the client's password from the ADSM server side
to fix this.  This does not appear to fix this problem when running
the version 3 client.

How can we sucessfully reset this node's password so we can successfully use the
"password generate" feature?
